Among those present were Meedames Cook, Lippincott, Love, Hill, S. T. Field, Bowersock, Shannon, Fluke, Eldridge, Geo. Innes, Pendleton, Tremper.
BOWENSOCK:—The Little Folks' dancing club had a very pleasant meeting Saturday night at the residence of J. D Bowersock on Tennessee street. These pleasant parties are no more enjoyed by the little ones, than by the older people who are fortunate enough to be present. Among those present the following were noticed: Misses Genevieve Howland, Bella Sinclair, Stella Hynes, Rilla and Lucy Van Hoesen, Madge Schaum, Carrie McEwen, Don, Burrie, Genie Bowersock, Messrs. Albert Flintom, Hal Noble, George and Philip Cook, Tracy, Oscar and Paul Learnard, Fred and Jua. Bowersock. Mesdames Van Hoesen, Sinclair, Schaum, McEwen. Misses Marcella Howland, Hattie Cook, Lyle Hynes, Gail Gainers.
TURNER:—A taffy pulling was given by Miss Lily Turner at her home on Kentucky street last Tuesday evening. Quite a large number were present and spent a most delightful evening. Miss Lily is a charming hostess and the merry company hope this will not be the last of her delightful parties. Among those present were the following: Misses Cora Henshaw, Mamie Henshaw, Lily Freeman, Lena Beard, Emma Blackington. Mesars, Jack Schall, A. L. Burney, J. Davis, W, A. Jackson, G. Lewis, L. A. Gilbert, J. Griffith.
CONTEXT:—The first contest of the year between the Oread and Orophilian societies was held in University hall last Friday evening. In spite of the inclementity of the weather many city people as well as the students of the University were assembled. The Phi Pis orchestra opened the entertainment with one of their most excellent selections. The oration—"Our National Safety guard" by C. L. Smith, of the Oread society was well rendered and was indicative of much thought. "The Questions of Nations," by F. A. Marshall is a most excellent essay and did credit to the Orophilian society of which Mr. Marshall is a member. J. W. Jenks' solo, was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Mr. Jenks singing has ever been highly appreciated. The next oration by R. S. Horton on "Andrew Jackson," showed that Mr. Horton was familiar with the biography of many of his countrymen. The Oread may deservedly claim Mr. Horton its member. "The Homes of Our Citizens," by T. F. Doran of the Orophilian was excellent and thoroughly appreciated. The Oread was next represented by Cyrus Crane, whose notation "A Problem" taught many what true greatness was when considered by those of culture and refinement. Mr. Crane has long been acknowledged one of Oreads most promising members. W. T. Reed of the Orophilian was the last contestant. Mr. Reed's oration on "The Mission of Morality" was listened to with breathless interest, it being written in his usual constyle style. That Mr. Reed was master of his subject was clearly shown. As a member of the Orophilian, Mr. Reed has no superior, after music by Phi Pis orchestra the audience dispersed well pleased, feeling fully repaid for climbing Mount Oread.
The Art League met Monday evening at Miss Simpson's studio. Not withstanding the unpleasant weather quite a large company assembled. The leading feature of the evening was a reading from Ruskin by F. O. Marvin.
Theseniual class of the High school to-night. Everybody attend.
Rev. Geo. A. Bowers, pastor of the Congregational church at Abilene, delivered a lecture on "The Conditions of Intellectual Development and success, in chapel Wednesday morning to an audience comprised of a large body of the students. The lecture was very interesting as well as instructive and clearly set forth the motives which should guide man in his intellectual labors. It had reference especially to the requisites of the student in his search for knowledge. Rev. Bowers has an eloquent and facile manner in his delivery and held the undivided attention of all present. The lecture is acknowledged by all who heard it to have been one of the grandest literary treats of the season.
The long talked of, much advertised event of the season, the appearance of the Abbott Opera Company, has passed. And It is certainly a relief especially to the student out with his best girl engaged laid and a half tickets and the constant anxiety about the state of the weather lest a rain should necessitate the buying of a hack. For my self, I must say that I had great expectations about this company, had heard the "Mikado" but it was by what I thought to be a "botch" company. Gran had no orchestra to give tone to the performance, his company were rather poor singers and the costumes were not such as would excite the greatest admiration for the regal dress of the Japanese court. But Gran's公司 could sustain good, brisk dialogue and that is more than can be said at the Abbott company. Emma Abbott claims that the character of "Yur Yum" was created especially for her by the composers. This may be but I can see nothing remarkable in her version of it. Amy Gordon certainly put more life into it and was much more satisfactory to the audience Fred. Dixon in the character of Ko Ko, lord high executioner was excelled by the Ko Ko of the first presentation. Lizzie Annonda was all that one could wish in the character of Kitisha. She of course is not to blame for her handsome face, which is entirely out of place in the homely, wizened up old maid she was intended to represent Broderick, Prudette and Montgreville sustained their parts in a very austistic manner. I do not wish, in this question, the ability of the Abbott company; they are all excellent singers, probably as good an appear on the American stage. But I do think they should drop the "Mikako" from their repertoire. I gives Miss Abbott little opportunity to display her talents and does not do her moderate justice. La Travata, Il Travatore Maritana or man other good English operas would much more satisfyactory. The andence was characteristic of Lawrence cold and dignified; only upon or occasion when she sang "Hon Sweet Home" in such a beautiful way, did it design to give the lean applause. We noticed the following persons in the audience: Mr. an Mrs. J. D. Bowersock, Mr. and Mr. Frank March, Mr. and Mrs. O. Woodward, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Parke, Mr. and Ms. McCann, Mr. and Mrs. C-miles, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field, Mr. L. Field, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Hyne, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, Mr. and Mr. Riggs, Mr. and Mrs. R.

Pearson and Mi Mattle Babcock; Mr. and Mrs. R.

To the Fathers and Mothers of the Good Little Folks of Lawrence and Vicinity;

After looking round carefully you will not be surprised to hear that I have selected the "Trade Palace" as the place where all my best toys, fancy articles and everything anybody can want for Christmas shall be sold. The Kahn-weller Bros, have promised to take care that everyone shall be well attended to and be made happy who buys at the "Trade Palace."

A KNIFE PASSED THROUGH THE EYE BALL WITHOUT PAIN.
Last Tuesday Mr. Mike Anthony of 517 Dacota street, Leavenworth, Kansas, came to the Eye and Ear Infirmary, corner Grand and Eighth streets, Kansas City. Mo. The new and wonderful herb discovered in South America was put in the eye. A few minutes after Dr. Kimberlin assisted by Drs. McKee and Trainor passed a knife clear through the eyeball, split it wide open, and removed a piece of the iris and the dead lens (or cataract). Mr. A. lost the sight of his right eye four years ago, and was entirely blind. His wife had to lead him about. Immediately after the operation he could count the doctor's fingers, and I yesterday he was sitting up and could see everything about the room, and says: "I felt no pain during or since the operation." Mr. A. has resided in Leavenworth twenty-five years, and all his friends are greatly rejoiced that he has regained his sight, and that without any pain.

VIEWS
EDITOR VIEWS:—The question has often occurred to me why there is such an entire lack of athletic sports among the students or K. S. U. To be sure we have a ball-club, and during the pleasant weather a few take part in the game, but by far the greater number take only such exercises as is afforded them by the walk to and from the University, with an occasional trip down town. Our college is behind
nearly all others in this matter of athletics, and it is a noticeable facts that our students, as contrasted with those of other colleges, are far behind them in physical development. A large proportion of our students are pale and sickly, with round shoulders and hollow chests, caused, not by excessive study, but by lack of exercise. In many other colleges more attention is given to athletic sports than is given so studies. Of course, we do not advocate such a measure, but even this is better than the other extreme, and if we could divide with them it would be better for all parties concerned. Health is one of the greatest blessings a person can enjoy; without it one is miserable and unable to exercise his best energies. Physical exercise is one of the requisites to good health, and should be taken by all. Lessons may be learned much more easily and in much less time after an hour or two of vigorous exercise, than without it. Most colleges have a gymnasium; ours has none. But do not let the absence of this, cause such a lack of activity. Take exercise.
There are many ways of doing it. Play base-ball, foot-ball, hare and hounds; walk if you have no money, rike if you have more than you know how to use. A small amount of money would suffice to start a boat-club. Boating, hunting, fishing; they will all do you good, and furnish more enjoyment than most of the amusements indulged in by many of the boys at present. The girls need exercise, and need not go without it. Although it is not customary, as most of us know, for girls to play foot-ball, and such games, still they may walk, and ride, and go boasting with the rest of us; indeed, we would be only too glad to have them do so. It is said that four University girls have already formed a club-bath, and have even ventured onto the river, and climbed to the top of the white ice-house. Think of that, boys! That is right! Let us hope that more attention will be given to this matter in the future, and there will be less sickness, fewer sallow complexions, more enjoyments, and a higher average in recitations, than there has been in the past.
